Start your day with a hearty Korean breakfast at Gwangjang Market, where you can savor delicious bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) paired with sweet red bean porridge.
Take Line 1 to Jongno 5-ga Station, and the market is just a short walk away.
After breakfast, explore Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of the Five Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty, and witness the changing of the guard ceremony.
Take a 10-minute walk from the market to the palace.
Wander around Bukchon Hanok Village, where you can marvel at traditional Korean houses (hanoks) and immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Seoul.
Head to Insadong, a vibrant neighborhood known for its arts and crafts shops, tea houses, and street food stalls; a perfect place to pick up unique souvenirs.
